Dr. Lydia Bennett, MD

I would not recommend Dr Bennett, upon meeting her she was unorganized and seemed more concerned about my son mask placement then treating him. She didnot even acknowledge me at the visit with my child, and proceeded to bully my son regarding vaccines even after he declined. Very unprofessional, awfull bedside manner.

Dr. Bennett comes to my visits unprepared, and tries to look through my history while with me. She then gaslights me about diagnosed conditions and refuses even simple requests for referrals or treatment. She always has to win, but it’s not a competition. It’s a conversation about my health. Will be changing doctors.

I don't recommend Dr. Bennett as a Primary Care Physician. She seems very bored with her job. She comes to an appointment unprepared (she has no clue about my medical history), which means that she keeps revisiting the same irrelevant topics year after year without checking that this has been discussed and can be put to bed. What's worse, I experienced her bullying me about doing a screening test that I'm comfortable doing saying things like: "if you don't do this screening test, you might die". I didn't switch to another provider out of convenience and I suppose laziness, but it's over now. A glossy photo on the waiting room wall proudly states that Dr. Bennett is recommended by her peers. To that I say let her treat her peers if they recommend her so full-heartedly. What I experienced and what I'm reading with the other reviews is that this provider is very far from a caring, interested, compassionate doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bennett's for a few years now. I think the level of care I get is very basic. I have a medical condition and when I asked her if she would manage my medications for it her response was no. The reason I wanted her to manage my medications was because my neurologist was not doing a very good job at refilling them in a timely fashion. My kidney specialist ended up filling it, which should have never happened. Because of the delay in my medication I ended up getting extremely sick. When looking for a primary care physician I expect there to be coordination of care. I understand she doesn't understand the condition, but she should be able to talk with my neurologist to make sure nothing has changed. The medication has not changed in the last 5 years or so.

Was sick from a reaction from a drug she prescribed. Called the office and was told it would take about 1 week or two before it was out of my system. Nothing was offered to help me with the reaction I was having but found a solution from a friend that was a pharmacist. I was also prescribed another drug for something different. Looking back I remembered I had taken this drug before and it was giving me a reaction to my kidney's. Today is the 5th day I called about the drug and still haven't heard back. I am going to seek a new Dr. This isn't the kind of care I want.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bennett’s for over 10 years and feel strongly that she has given me excellent care through serious medical issues and the every day “little things”. She welcomes me warmly by name, remembers my medical issues and never seems to be in a hurry. When I had been quite sick, she insisted on frequent follow-up. When I ask questions about whether a test or drug is really necessary, she is more than willing to listen to my concerns and questions.

Dr. Bennett provides care to each member of my family and I couldn’t be more pleased. She’s always been available to answer any questions I have had in relation to my young daughters, whether it be through the medical email system or by return phone call. She remembers key things about my children’s medical history and always takes my concerns seriously. I am surprised to see some negative reviews here, so I wanted to be sure to provide my overwhelmingly positive experience.

I would not recommend this provider. She has no bedside manner, her personality is extremely dry, and I feel she provided very generic care. No follow up after a significant occurrence and my request for a pertinent lab add on was not even acknowledged nor addressed by her after contacting the office, which I find extremely rude and unprofessional. A courtesy return call from the nurse explaining provider rationale for not wanting to add lab on would have been a basic minimum standard of care.

It is impossible to get a hold of the doctor when you have an issue or question. I had a reaction to a medication and it took three days for her to finally get back to me, and that was after I called 5-6 times every day. On top of that she gave me incorrect information about an illness I had. She told me it couldn't be passed from one person to another which it turns out is incorrect. I got much more accurate information from my fiancees doctor when he was diagnosed with the same issue.
